    Component-A focuses on setting up decentralized, grid-connected solar power plants up to 2 MW capacity each, primarily on barren or unused farmland. These plants help generate clean electricity locally and feed it into the grid.

    The major advancement in technology is the progression on more efficient solar modules. Earlier India saw polycrystalline modules which had lesser efficiencies. Later major solar module makers started making mono-PERC technology based solar modules which could offer effiiencies of around 21%. Now the country is slowly moving to TOPCon technology which offers efficiencies higher than mono-PERC. Another advancement had been was in bringing more Wp panels. Now India has panels having a maximum Wp power of upto 680Wp. Higher Wp power means that to generate the same amount of solar power we would need lesser number of panels as a single higher power panel can produce enough power.

    If you want to undertake rooftop solar business, you need to register with the discom (electricity distribution company) where you want to operate. As per the PM Surya Ghar scheme norms, only the registered solar vendors can undertake residential rooftop solar installations. The consumers can get subsidies for rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar scheme only if they get their installations done by registered vendors only. The National Rooftop Portal maintains a list of all the registered solar vendors who are undertaking these installations. For getting registered with the local discom, these companies also need to pay annual fees to them to get their registrations done.
